Question

In my java app I running sql query for example:

select rowid as col1, id as col2 from dummy_table

and then, when I use ResultSetMetaData.getColumnNames I expect to get column aliases (col1 and col2), but method returns physical column names.

So, my question is, how to get column aliases using ResultSetMetaData

I use Java 1.6, Jdbc, Sybase

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

You can use temporary tables,

   select rowid as col1, id as col2 INTO #tmp from dummy_table


    select * from #tmp

I think this will work.

For second solution
also check String getColumnLabel(int column) function of ResultSetMetaData
